Mindfulness for Better Mental Health

Mindfulness gives us a way to relate to experience - even difficult things - that can free us from unhelpful habits. Instead of reacting with anxiety, aversion, overwhelm or craving we can learn to respond with compassion, free from judgement and blame. This simple session invites you to relax, sit with curiosity and presence, and be yourself, just as you are.

The Cat and The Canary

A stormy night, a creaking old mansion, and a killer on the loose —Universal Pictures’ 1927 horror-comedy is the perfect Halloween treat.

The Film:

Twenty years after the death of millionaire Cyrus West, his relatives are called together in his decaying mansion on the Hudson River to hear the reading of the will. They discover that West has left everything to his niece Annabelle (Laura La Plante) - on the condition that she is judged to be legally sane.

Roddy Woomble

With his enigmatic and poetic lyrics, warm baritone voice and consummate gift for a tune, Roddy Woomble is widely considered to be among Scotland's best contemporary songwriters.

Over the sixteen albums that he has released (nine with his band Idlewild, and seven as a solo artist) he has traversed punk rock, chart bothering melodic rock, folk and most recently electronica, with his most recent project Almost Nothing. Each one delivered with the humble grace that he's become known for.

The Gil Scott-Heron Songbook

The Gil Scott-Heron Songbook are the dynamic duo of Aki Remally and Fraser Urquhart who play with a full quartet to pay homage to Gil Scott-Heron.

Together they delve deep into the work of the revolutionary poet, jazz musician and rap pioneer, Gil Scott-Heron, whose lyrics expressed views on politics, culture and social injustice – expect a whole lotta of funk, jazz and soul tunes.
